By which I mean that I expect Barack Obama to become president, try to
solve problems, fail, and be majorly disliked by nearly everyone. If I
thought John McCain was going to win, I would have said "Hate McCain Now, Avoid
the Rush." Because, you see, we put impossible pressures on our presidents.
We expect them to be able to act like dictators, solving problems left and
right, writing executive orders, and generally cutting a swathe through
everyone's favorite problem.

If ever a man has the power to do great good, he could also use it to do
great evil. That is reason enough to deny anybody that much power.
